BREAKING BAD HABITS!😬😓

Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. ~Ephesians 4:22-24

Growing up, we have dabbled into so many things, and our parents help us to unlearn them.

Some kids suck on their Thumb, some bite their nails, some pick their nose and go as far as to suck on it. This habits are carefully broken with constant discipline and actions from the parents.

Imagine an adult say working as a manager in a big company, and on your visit, you met him sucking on his Thumb. Well, that would not only influence your perspective of him, you would also perceive the individual as immature and unable to handle certain responsibilities, that individual cannot be the face of the company. In fact, the only way a company would retain such person would be if they were exceptionally good at their work, and haven't found a replacement yet.

Bad Habits in the Kingdom are like little Foxes we over look, but their tails are lit with fire that is slowly destroying the works that God has wrought in your life overtime.

Bad Habits could be the Music you listen to, The kinds of books you read, The way you think of yourself more highly than you should, Wayward thoughts, Inconsiderate actions, Inhumane treatment of the people God has called your neighbor, and the likes.

How do we break bad habit?

No one can break a habit without external help. Whether through getting more information or consulting someone for help.

We need to get closer to God, and Read the bible. Spiritual ba habits are not broken, by focusing on the Bad habits, but instead by focusing on God. When we look into God and follow after him, His perfections begins to erase our imperfections.

You cannot chase darkness by burrowing or learning more about darkness, No. You chase darkness, by moving Closer to the Light.

Every Solution you need Is found in Christ, who supplies all our needs according to his riches in glory.

Break that Habit.

Love,

MaryA.
